Hanukkah Dreidel Collection

The Hanukkah dreidel is the most recognizable symbol of Hanukkah after the menorah. Our handmade hanukkah dreidel collection includes the beautiful dreidels of Gary Rosenthal, Moshe Monzon, Emily Rosenfeld and Infinity Art in Metal. The dreidel originated as a game that Jewish children played when the Jews were being persecuted by the Syrian Greeks and forbidden to study the Torah.

The Hanukkah dreidel has a Hebrew letter on each side of the dreidel - Nun, Gimmel, Hay, and Shin, which stands for
the phrase, "Nes Gadol Haya Sham” - “A great
miracle happened there.” In Israel, the dreidels say, "Nes
Gadol Haya Po," which means, “A great miracle happened
here.”

Jewish Gift Place carries the handmade dreidels of many talented artists. Gary
Rosenthal is our preeminent artist of Hanukkah
dreidels. His dreidels are a work of art with magnificent designs and interpretations
including musical
notes, and the
leaves of trees. Emily Rosenfeld makes a beautiful and whimsical Hanukkah
dreidel made from pewter. Moshe Monzon handpaints his small Hanukkah
dreidels with the delightful designs of a butterfly, flower, pomegranate,
and Star of David.
